Check These Links

There has been quite an absence of posts I realize... I have been trying to keep up a little on FaceBook posting as I can- though I realize not all of us are on FaceBook understandably.  :)  Some are on but not on too.  Haha!  In any case if you are on FaceBook please like HHB to stay connected in any absence.  The page can be found HERE.  And for those of you not on FaceBook here are some good links not to be missed.

ALICE WATERS: EDIBLE EDUCATION 

L❤VE! Beautiful short film! "When children are involved in the growing and preparing of food, they always want to eat it. I think this is the way to turn around this crisis in the nation's health. If children have the chance, they all fall in love with real food, and through the Edible Schoolyard project they learn lifelong lessons of nutrition. I am just hopeful we can bring this experience to every child." :)

AT VACANT HOMES, FORAGING FOR FRUIT

It’s a perfect storm of vacant properties and people who need a quality food source and an unused resource,” Mr. Astrove said. The point, she and other urban fruit foragers say, is to keep food from going to waste. Ms. Callahan, who works for the Carter Center and lived in Africa for eight years, has seen true hunger and cannot bear to watch food rot.
